Thanksgiving. I sense that, driven by commercial interests, like the idiotic and antisocial trick or treat, it will become part of British culture. Thanksgiving will be yet another occasion for consumerism, gluttony and false bonhomie. Even in America it tends to be forgotten that it commemorates only the safe arrival in 1620 of 100 Pilgrim Fathers on the Mayflower. (Other Puritans followed them later.) These Puritans then thanked God and gave a small party. It is said that this was the first time that wild turkeys featured in a public banquet. Nor was it necessarily an occasion for celebration by everyone. Certainly not by the Native Americans, whose rights the Pilgrim Fathers descendants tended to overlook, to put it mildly. The Fathers imported their particular brand of fanaticism; their most notable legacy being the Salem Witch trials and other miscarriages of justice. Many of the Pilgrim Fathers came from here, Lincolnshire, where there is much duplication of names: notably Boston, Lincolnshire and Boston, Massachusetts. Rory Sutherland writes in The Spectator that I suspect that their former neighbours saw them as a bunch of joyless arseholes who found 17th-century England insufficiently puritanical for their dismal tastes - Were well shot of them, frankly! This seems at least possible.
